On 8 March, it was International Women\u2019s Rights Day \u2013 not \u201cWomen\u2019s Day\u201d.<\/span><\/p>

On this occasion, we inaugurated the Knowledge and Culture Centre under a new name, that of a woman: the Julie-Victoire Daubi\u00e9 Centre, named after Julie-Victoire Daubi\u00e9, France\u2019s first female baccalaur\u00e9at graduate.<\/span><\/p>

A ceremony was held in the presence of Madame the COCAC, and was led by students from the CVL (Student Council).<\/span><\/p>

Students from the CVL, Year 9 (5eA), Year 11 (Seconde A) and Year 13 (Terminale A) punctuated the ceremony with powerful speeches. They reminded us of the importance of odonymy \u2013 the naming of public spaces \u2013 for the representation of women in the public sphere. They also explained why saying \u201cWomen\u2019s Day\u201d does not make sense: \u201cwoman\u201d as a single, fixed model does not exist; there are as many ways of being a woman as there are women. <\/span><\/p>

The students also reminded us who Julie-Victoire Daubi\u00e9 was, and how she had to fight for the right to sit the baccalaur\u00e9at examination. Did you know that at the time the word bacheli\u00e8re (female baccalaur\u00e9at holder) did not even exist? In doing so, the students highlighted the importance and the power of words in the fight for equality. The 8th of March is therefore a day to celebrate rights that have been won, while also reminding us of the need to defend them and to continue the struggle to secure new ones. <\/span><\/p>

Finally, the ceremony concluded with an appearance by Simone de Beauvoir, portrayed by a Year 13 student, highlighting the extent to which education is a vehicle for emancipation, because, as she famously wrote: \u201cOne is not born, but rather becomes a woman.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
